Smiley Card with a Lot of Glitz

Welcome!  I have some happy today...hope to make you smile. This card was a result of playing with GKD Blue Glitz Glitter Gel  that I bought a few months ago but never tried.  Using a Hero Arts stencil from a past monthly kit, I added the glitz to a bright yellow cardstock and trimmed the panel and added to a card base of the same cardstock.  Finished with GKD stamp from You Make Me Smile set and a die cut word Happy stamped and die cut with GKD Tropical Bloom set.  A quick and easy card but it does take a bit for that gel to dry.
Monthly Mix Challenge: Sheri's challenge was Just Add Texture. There is a lot of texture with this gel. This is my 4th entry this month.
Mix It Up Challenge: MIUCB #34 Anything Goes + Optional Twist Stenciling.
CRAFT Challenge: #546 Be Inspired by a Song. This brings to mind the song....Don't Worry, Be Happy

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Moon and Stars

Hello!  I have another card featuring Stencil Monoprint.  I learned about this technique on CAS Mix  Up Card challenge.  I used Hero Arts Moon and Stars stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Fossilized Amber and Wild Honey to create the monoprint on white CS.  I then laid the stencil back on the dried print and sponged with Stormy Sky Ink.  I cut a panel and attached to a Shimmery Yellow Pearl CS.  I stamped the Hero Arts sentiment with Memento Paris Dusk ink and heat embossed with clear EP. Attached die cut stars using Hero arts dies.  I added glitter to the sides of the panel using double side tape and Stampendous Crystal Glitter.  I hope you can see the glitter and the variation of colors on the monoprint.  Hard to see in the photo. Looks better in real life.

Hello! I have another card that I made with the August Hero Arts kit using the stencil of Moon and Stars with several of the Stamps.  I ended up using only 2 colors for the design.  I used the Stencil with Distress Oxide ink Faded Jeans on Yellow CS.  I trimmed this to fit on a card base of the same Yellow CS.  I stamped Stars, Sentiment and more with the same ink on a smaller panel of the Yellow CS  (misted this with Gold Shimmer mist) and attached off center on the stenciled layer.
